Central Manchester University Hospitals Nhs Foundation Trust v Browne: EAT 10 Feb 2012

EAT RACE DISCRIMINATION
Inferring discrimination
Comparison
Appeal by the Hospital Trust on grounds that (a) there was a failure to construct a true hypothetical comparator (b) there was a failure to properly consider whether the treatment of the Claimant was on racial grounds under s.1(1)(a) of the Race Relations Act 1976 and (c) there were insufficient grounds to establish a finding of victimisation. The EAT dismissed the appeal. There were careful findings of fact to permit the Tribunal to find (a) race discrimination, and (b) victimisation.
